The owner is FANTASTIC. So so helpful and always happy. He helped us find a colca canyon trek (much cheaper than the one in the guidebook and really good value for money) and was really kind in letting us use a room when we came back from the trek before our bus that evening! Also made it really easy when we needed to extend our stay by another night. The rest of the staff are really friendly and helpful. Hot showers, hostel and room both locked. Only thing bathrooms a bit run down. THANK YOU!!

We stayed here for 2 nights during our travels in Peru. The staff were extremely friendly. They didn't speak English and we didn't speak a ton of Spanish but they were still able to help us navigate the city. The location is very close to the main tourist attractions. It was quiet and our belongings were secure. Our only compliant was cleanliness - the bed linens were fine but the walls had some large stains and there was a mildew problem in the bathroom. For the price we would stay again.

Staff are so lovely and can't help you enough. They were great the whole stay. Good price for private ensuite, but kitchen is small and not clean. Lovely rooftop garden. Good location. Can be noisy we were woken up by other guests checking in in the middle of the night

La Posada del Kuraka was more like a hotel than a hostel, but it was an excellent value. Our private room had its own bathroom, there was a nice rooftop terrace, and the kitchen was small but usable. The security was good, you have to buzz in from outside. It's a little far from the center of town, but Arequipa is very walkable.
